| Doc Text: |
Previously, when the "LANG" environment variable was set to "C", tcsh could ignore several characters that were following a wide (greater than 8 bits) character while receiving user's input. This package fixes the issue and tcsh no longer ignores any characters.

Description

Character typed after ö is printed 6 times. e.g. when "öa" is typed, "aaaaaa" is printed. The upstream patch for this issue (accepted in tcsh-6.15.00) fixes the reported issue - silently "eat" 14 characters after typing a wide characters while using LANG=C. But the QA team found out during the usage testing, that the fix reveals another weird behaviour - after some wide characters, the shell now prints few more characters than expected. See bug 717282 for the related printing issue (mentioned in comment 5), that is actually caused by wrong printing of wide and single-byte ASCII character sequences. Bugfix was verified on tcsh617-6.17-5.el5 package. Umlaut character doesn't cause ignoring following 14 key strokes now, but prints following character 6 times (see comment 5). This will be solved in separated bug 717282.
